Job Scheduling

A schedule defines a data collection job and specifies how often the job executes in your system.

In SAP Control Center, collection jobs provide the data that appears on monitoring screens and charts. A collection is a set of key performance indicators (KPIs). When the scheduler runs a collection job, it gathers the value of each KPI in the collection and tags the data with the date and time it was gathered. The data is stored in the repository and displayed. Each product module has predefined collections that you can schedule.

The job history displays the status of jobs executed each day.
